Unit 1.3 – Making Critical Discernments

[Natasa Popadic]

Steps are much more limited to procedures that are narrow and in order to understand a step you often need to draw on a number of discernments. Discernments are much more about perception and how we come to understand a concept while a step is simply an act needed in order to get to a certain goal/point of completion. When playing lightbox you had to keep referring back to certain discernments in order to pass the level. There were no concrete steps or a formula to follow each time.

When playing Lightbot and solving addition puzzles, I noticed that learning to make decisions step by step felt very different from just following instructions. In Lightbot, I had to think carefully about each move and understand why it worked, instead of just memorizing steps. This made me really understand the process better and helped me solve new puzzles more easily. It was like learning to think in a new way, not just copying what to do.
